i've install the tools from hibernate, and i want to use hibernate console.
The problem is that it's giving me this error:

org.hibernate.console.HibernateConsoleRuntimeException: Problems while loading database driverclass (oracle.jdbc.Oracle)

Where do i have to put the classes so that hibernate console can connect to Oracle ?

you need to add the jdbc driver to the classpath of the console configuration as specified in the docs and the wizard ,)

-max

Where?

I've tried to put the jar into the lib directori (and add the path to plugin.xlm).
But nothing.
I've all tryed to changed the hibernate.connection.driver_class.
If i change it to a class that start with org and the class is into a jar from the lib directory is working(error: class cast exception), but if the class does is not in the org pakage then is not working.

why are you messing with plugin.xml when I say you need to specify it for the classpath of your console configuration ?

can you tell exacly where?

Thanks

console.custom.classpath ?

it is in the wizard for the console configuration!

It's wporking but i'm getting:
org.hibernate.HibernateException: The dialect was not set. Set the property hibernate.dialect
i've put hibernate.dialect.=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialec into the properties file.

and you have pointed to the exact same hibernate.properties inside the wizard ?

i have a hibernateconsole.properties file:

console.custom.classpath=E:/../classes;C:/oracle/ora90/jdbc/lib/classes12.jar;
console.hibernate.properties=E:/../oracle-hibernate.properties


And the oracle-hibernate.properties file:

hibernate.connection.driver_class=oracle.jdbc.Oracle
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:oracle:oci:@cls817
hibernate.connection.username=xxx
hibernate.connection.password=xxx
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialec
hibernate.show_sql=true

org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialec is missing a t at the end

should be org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect

it's not working

hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect

can you make a sreenshot of the console configuration wizard?
